DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?


Do you believe in God? That's the question that the band flyleaf posed in their song "Cassie". The song was inspired by the senseless murder of cassie bernall, a victim of the Columbine tragedy. All of us go about everyday hiding in our own little protective worlds. We never realize how we affect those around us either in a negative,careless way or if we are lucky the opposite. I am fortunate that I awoke from "my fog" before it was too late, I almost lost my wife. But thanks to God, I've turned it around and our relationship is very strong and moving forward. And so it is with the combined tragedies of Cassie Bernall and rachel scott,another Columbine victim, that we can learn much. After losing my job of 11 years and the mess I had made of my marriage, no one can tell me that God hasn't been pushing me onto the correct path. I took so much for granted, but that is no longer the story! Awake each and everyday, embrace the life that you've been given don't fret over what should or what shouldn't be, there are those whom are much worse off.

A WAKE UP CALL TO ALL MEN

Guys,

Take it from one who has just "seen the light". I took my wife for granted, and I never heard her soul cry out in pain due to my inattentiveness to her needs, her wants, her dreams.
I almost lost her and my family forever. But I'm lucky, I'm getting another chance, I thank her for that. I pledged to her that I will everyday with all my heart and with all the strength I can gather to be a better husband from this point on forever.

Thank you Tonya.

your devoted husband.

A LETTER TO MY WIFE

Dear Tonya,
I AM SORRY.
I cannot apologize enough for what I have put you through.
I finally understand how much pain I have caused you.
I am so very grateful for the chance to be the husband I never was,
the husband that is deserving of all the joy and love that you have to give.
I am the luckiest man on earth.
Love,
Stan

Remember

"The luckiest man on earth is the one who finds true love."
and that's me.
